Terrifying news that a white supremacist planned a shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois. I’m grateful to local law enforcement and community members who prevented this incident. The rise of racist & xenophobic threats against Indian and Hindu Americans is alarming and has no place in our country.

Building West-East rail is a once-in-a-generation investment. I’m proud to have worked together with @massgovernor.bsky.social and the federal delegation to secure this funding as we work to connect our communities and regional economies like never before.

Wholesale inflation just hit a 4-year high. Working families can't afford their gas, groceries, or healthcare premiums. But instead of ending the war and putting America First, Trump is claiming he "loves" inflation. Americans need relief.

Navy Pier is a Chicago icon and an incredible a source of entertainment for Illinoisans and visitors alike. It has been my pleasure to advocate for federal investments for Navy Pier while in Congress, and I was honored to be recognized at their annual gala last night.

My bipartisan Retire through Ownership Act is now law! It’ll facilitate employee stock ownership plans, so workers can share directly in the profits they help create. That means higher wages, more wealth-building, and a real stake in their workplace. www.kaine.senate.gov/press-releas...

Today, another American citizen & journalist was brutalized by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank. This repeated violence & brazen impunity for attacks against Americans & Palestinians alike are unacceptable. When will Trump & Rubio DO SOMETHING?

For Granite Staters in recovery, a safe place to call home is key to building stability. It was great to visit The Hive, a new recovery residence for women in Manchester that will help women find a job, build a community, gain structure, and get their lives back on track.

Americans want safer communities and lower costs. Instead of targeting dangerous criminals, Trump is targeting construction workers, worsening labor shortages and driving up housing costs. From his war in Iran to his tariffs and immigration agenda, Trump’s policies are making life more expensive.

My opponent is telling voters she voted to cap insulin prices. She did not – in fact, she voted against it, twice. I’m the only candidate with a record of standing up to Big Pharma and a plan to lower health care and prescription drug costs.

Who is safer when America forcibly detains a woman who has called this country home since she was 6, is a mom to four citizens, and is a military spouse? This is a disgrace and we need to force a change with our voice and our votes.

America must stand with Ukraine, not the Russian war criminal, Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump’s decision to buy Russian gas and limit the sharing of critical intelligence with Ukraine is an abandonment of our ally and will cause more violence and bloodshed.

$50 billion in rural health care funding after gutting $1 trillion from health care is like putting a band-aid on a bullet hole. Democrats fought for families. Republicans fought for billionaire tax cuts.

This is appalling. There must be swift justice and accountability for perpetrators of violent extremism in the West Bank, which stands in the way of regional peace and is escalating an already unpredictable and dangerous situation.

I am horrified by this attack on Palestinian villagers and Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine. Reports that this was a coordinated attack are incredibly concerning, as are reports that IDF soldiers did not intervene. I will continue to call for an investigation and accountability.

Our hearts are with the families of the children and educators killed yesterday at an Oregon elementary school. No parent should fear for their kid's life at school. No kid should fear they'll die at school. Colorado knows this grief too well, and we know it doesn't have to be this way.

Too many Americans are struggling to afford the insulin they need to survive. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would cap monthly insulin costs at $35 for Americans with private insurance. It’s time for Congress to take action to lower these costs.

This is a big deal. No paths to climate safety remain, unless we end pollute-for-free. The only global price is EU CBAM carbon tariff — our last lifeboat. Australia, Canada, Mexico and others should negotiate admission. (California should get a waiver.) www.politico.eu/article/uk-e...

Nevadans are sick of paying more for health care, gas, groceries, and rent because of Trump’s tariffs and war in Iran. While Trump continues to insist the economy is great, Nevadans know the truth: his leadership has cost them $4,400 extra since he took office. Here’s how it breaks down:

Because of record high heating oil costs, Granite Staters will now pay around $1,500 to fill their home heating oil tank – $610 more than last year. Families across the Northeast rely on heating oil to stay warm in winter, but Trump's Iran War has caused prices to skyrocket.

Trump said he would end the Ukraine war in a day and the Iran war in a few weeks. He was dead wrong. Now, by buying diesel fuel from Russia, Trump is fueling both wars to last longer. Whose side is he on? Trump is risking lives for an empty campaign talking point.

A teenager used a gun to murder innocent children. An educator died in a job that should not be life threatening. And yet the GOP majority will again resist any meaningful effort to stop the next school shooting. This is the reality of the current Congress. And it’s heartbreaking.
